Caralyn Bess, publisher of the Columbia Basin Herald in Moses Lake, Washington, and her husband, David, are retiring.
Stepping into Bess’ big shoes is a familiar face in the community and established CBH leader: Bob Richardson, who will be the general manager.
A 1993 Moses Lake High School graduate, Richardson started in the newspaper’s circulation department in June 1997 and worked his way up over the years. Until his promotion to the top job, Richardson had been serving in three roles: CBH advertising director and publisher of both the weekly Sun Tribune and monthly Basin Business Journal.
